Yesterday, NBC’s ‘Today’ Had an Awkward April Fool’s Joke

ICYMI: The cast of NBC’s ‘Today Show’ tried to break out the funny on April Fool’s Day. More specifically, newly blushing soon-to-be bride Savannah Guthrie and her executive producer.

As in, on live television. And that’s when the #TVFail awkward moment happened for all of us to enjoy.

Guthrie concocted a sinister plot to trick her co-hosts into eating Oreo cookies. HAHA! I mean, funny, right? Only (sorry, have to wipe these tears of laughter from my cheeks), instead of the gooey Oreo cream that blocks your arteries … wooooo, hilarious … she had them filled with, with … my gut hurts … with toothpaste.

Oh man, 6th grade called and wants their prank back. Anywho, now that I have composed myself, there was a slight problem with the prank:

Matt Lauer had a real, normal Oreo

Al Roker’s cookie was fake but homeboy remembered the good ol’ days, so he devoured his

Tamron Hall caught on but wasn’t that enamored with the joke

Captain Wild Man Funny Guy Willie Geist didn’t even partake in the joke exposing his real party animal side

And now, let the hi-jinks ensue. Hope you had a better April Fool’s Day than Guthrie because the joke was on her as she was cloaked in fake laugh by her TV cohorts. Don’t you love the holidays?
